LOL...I just picked it up last night and have driven it maybe 30 miles at the most. So I can't really give a fun-o-meter report just yet. I'm gonna baby it for a while. I'm old school I guess, but I think a car needs to have a few thousand miles on before it gets driven too hard. It's one of the new 2011 V6 cars ....rated 305 horsepower and 31mpg highway. HP rating is about the same as last years GT I think. It should be fun and fairly economical.

Thanks, I think the wife was more excited about getting it than I was....but I was ready for something other than a grandma car. If it gets anywhere close to the rated 31 I will be pleased. Last I checked, the Honda was getting about 29.

This Ford Sync think is pretty sweet. Sirius Radio, CD/MP3, AM/FM, Aux(USB), and Phone control. I've only been playing with it for an hour or so, but I just got a simple 4gb flash drive filled with music and a 16GB Sansa MP3 player to "Sync" and play right thru the USB connection in the car. Now I just have to figure out how to control it using voice commands. I need a teenager.

Yes, you need to complete the mid life crisis look. A hot 18-19 yo to sit next to you and fiddle w/ the knobs.

I have mentioned this very thing to Ms. MillCreek 3.0: that I need a mid-life crisis convertible with a 21 year old in a tight tube top in the passenger seat and a case of Budweiser in the back seat. She accurately pointed out that I would rather die than drink Budweiser, so I give her props for that.

You know, at the factory they rev those engines up to "OMFG IT'S GONNA EXPLODE!!!!" RPMs to ensure that the engine is stable, right? You're not doing yourself or that engine a service by driving it like a Grandma. Drive it normally. Hell, drive it like you stole it. Get those rings to seat properly.
